The Sanford journal thus tells how n
little chap made the long journey from
Texas to Florida all alone "A little boy
left Waco, Texas, Monday last, for Paola.
in this county, He arrived yesterday at
his destination fright side up with care"
His friends in Waco had his destination
printed or written ON the brow of his
cap; also sewed onto the lapel of his
coat, so, by assistance of the railroad
officials, the little fellow came through
all right"
AS rule the stock seen ON the streets
of Palatka are in good condition, fact
that is very complimentary to the people
who own them. But yesterday morning
owe noticed a rickety old horse, that
seemed nothing but bare bones and hide,
driven by an aged son of Ham. The
horse looked hungry, low spirited, and
as if all earthly ambition had been given
up. The horse should be better cared
for or else killed.
